Great Start to Red Ribbon Week



Wow-what a great day we had today "kicking" off Red Ribbon Week!! First, we talked about how Red Ribbon Week got started and who the person was responsible for that. If your child can tell you the story, write Kiki in the planner. Then, we made a list and catagorized drugs into 3 different catagories and also talked about why people do drugs. If your child can tell you the 3 catagories and one reason why people use them, then write RRW in the planner.
This afternoon, we had our first guest speaker of the week. He talked about his job as a DEA Agent. Wow-what a job he has! The kids were so intrigued and had lots of good questions for him.
We had a great showing in our classroom today with all the Hawaiian clothes. Tomorrow is "Don't Let Drugs Tie You Up". Wear a tie. Remember no hair paint or color.
Congratulations to Karissa, our student of the week. We enjoyed all the pics and the things we learned about you.
My reading kids have a big project tonight as we finished our book "There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom. They are to put the title, author, their name, and a picture on one side of the white bag and then tell about their favorite part and illustrate it on the other side. Then they are to put 5 items in the bag that help tell the story. Then on a sheet of paper they are to write why they put each item in the bag.
It feels like the weather is turning so please dress accordingly.
Have a great night.
